Well, I have hit the researcher&#8217;s block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a little site on the internet called <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/\">the Internet Archive<\/a>. I highly encourage everyone to at least see the library of what they offer. Earlier in the month, someone launched a DDOS attack on the site, making the public lose access to tons of data only found on the Internet Archive. This for me was a pinnacle moment. Libraries do not keep access to weird art, they keep access to what is most circulated and what will be most circulated. A &#8220;dead&#8221; art movement might be the first thing gone.

The writing and recording of artists all around the globe are now back. I still wonder if I am in that creative block still. I only found out about the log in a minute ago. I still cannot explain the pouring of emotion over me. My job is back, but do I dive back in or wade in the waters?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The creative block is here.
